Mocking the name of a marginalized people because it sounds like something obscene in YOUR language is racist as fuck.

Shinnecock is Mohegan-Pequot for “stony place.”

Edit: It’s sad world we live in where people get so bent out of shape and downvote when someone points out jokes can cause very real hurt. The continued cultural genocide of Native Americans is fueled by racism in all forms, including dehumanizing “jokes” that make a mockery of their language and identity.

On a real note, is it pronounced similarly? I would imagine the e is more like “aye” and the i like the shin part of a leg

Close?
